Personally, I block the localhost IP and bar invocation of the Exim
binary by any but an exalted few (myself and my backup admin, basically).

But doing so requires some other moves, especially if supporting an MLM.

Before going further, do you HAVE an MLM or any webishness or similar
cretins on the same box as your Exim MTA, and/or do you permit shell
accounts? Do you have php, ruby, similar languages, apache, or -
basically ANYTHING not needed for MTA and POP/IMAP support?

If so, you may need an acl_not_smtp clause AND some firewall rules.

ELSE just a simple hard-fail rDNS check and strict AUTH.
